Start a Market
A market takes three things: players who want it, a venue to hold it, and somebody on the ground to run it. Whichever of those you are, start here.
The Colorado Springs pilot filled on word of mouth alone — 88 players, sold out, zero marketing spend. No ads, no sponsor, no list.
For players
Put your name down. When 16 players in your city have done the same, somebody local books the courts and registration opens — to the list first.
Add your name
Thirty seconds. No payment, no obligation, and we only ever email you once.
16 names, green light
That's what a local commissioner needs before booking courts. Nobody spends a dollar on a guess.
You get first shot
Registration opens to the list before anyone else. Spots go in the order people register.
9–11 guaranteed matches
You play every round, then the Takedown. No sitting out, no byes, no waiting on somebody else's third game.
Rotating partners
No fixed teams. You're never carried and you're never stuck — the result is yours.
Adjacent seeds never partner
The two strongest in your Division can't be paired against two of the weakest. The bracket can't be gamed.
Points and stats for everyone
Every game scores on the board and in each player's stats. DUPR moves only for players who choose it.
No payment. No commitment.
16 names is a green light. We email you once, when registration opens in your city — nothing else, and you can say no then.

For 4.5+ players
Every Division has one Top Gun — the highest DUPR in the pod. It is not an honorific. It is a role, and the whole Division is built around beating you.
You partner everyone once, including them
Over the Grind you partner your Top Gun once and face them twice. Nobody hides from you and you can't hide behind anyone.
The Takedown bonus is for beating you
Win your Division without being its Top Gun and you take the bonus. That's the prize everyone else in the Division is playing for.
Your presence is what makes the field real
A Division with a genuine 5.0 at the top is a different event from one without. That's why the slot is worth paying for.
You get paid to play
Top Guns are compensated per event. Terms are agreed before you commit, every time.
Apply to be a Top Gun
Email or phone — one is enough. Applying commits you to nothing; terms are agreed per event, before you say yes.
For facilities and clubs
You don’t have a courts problem. You have a reason-to-come-back problem. You bring courts and a date; we bring everything else — no software to build, no staff to train, nothing for you to run on the night.
Open play is chaos
Whoever shouts loudest picks the teams, the good players leave early, and the newcomer plays four games two levels above them.
Ladders die in three weeks
A challenge ladder needs somebody chasing results. Nobody does, so it stops being true — and then nobody checks it.
A tournament is one spike a year
It fills a weekend and the calendar is empty again. It doesn't change what a Tuesday looks like.
Members leave when nothing is at stake
Play with no record and no consequence is recreation, and recreation is the first thing cut from a budget.
Seeded divisions, generated
Enter the roster. The platform seeds by DUPR, builds the divisions, lays out the courts. No spreadsheet.
A live scoreboard on the wall
Scores arrive from players' phones with dual confirmation. Standings move as they land.
DUPR-rated when you want it
Flag a night DUPR-rated and every result submits automatically. Otherwise each player chooses — so the DUPR-shy still show up.
The anonymous No-DUPR switch
Any player opts a session out of rating submission, privately, in one tap. The objection your front desk hears daily, gone.

If you run more than one
Two of your clubs is a rivalry.
Each site runs its own night. The top finishers across them earn a regional qualifier, and one location hosts the final — the room everybody in the network is trying to reach. A marketing asset you already own and can’t currently use.
Run a Gauntlet on your courts
No deck. We bring the platform to your courts and run a real session with eight of your people — about ninety minutes, and they keep the accounts.

It already worked once
The Colorado Springs pilot filled on word of mouth alone — no ads, no sponsor, no list. Your city is the same bet with a head start: you already know who you’d call.
